Hierarchy in Project Browser

[JacekSalamandra]

Hi,
I try to create an empty diagram under  package using script

Code: [Select]

function createDiagram(pakiet,diagramName){
            var diag as EA.Element;
            diag = pakiet.Diagrams.AddNew(diagramName, "Activity");
            diag.Update();
       }The diagram is created but when i loot at Project Browser i see the new diagram is under root node, not under my package.
Please help.

Check what pakiet actually is. I guess you passed the root model instead of your target packet.

Manually EA wouldn't allow to create a diagram under the root node.

Ah but this is EAUI!

Manually, you can't have more then one instance of an object on a diagram.  But, thanks to some rogue automation, last week I ended up with 4975 copies of the same object on the one diagram, before I killed the EA instance!  

Fortunately now sorted!

The diagram is creates always on the same level at the same level as package "pakiet". I wolud like create diagram under "pakiet" package, not at the same level.
I ve changed "pakiet"package location but the effect is still the same.

The question was: are you sure that pakiet is what you think pakiet is?
The variable will most likely contain the parent package of pakiet in stead of pakiet

Code: [Select]

function getPackageByName(nazwa){
            var  obj as EA.Element;
            var sql;
            var tablica as EA.Collection;
            sql="select * from t_object where Name=\""+nazwa+"\"and Object_Type=\"Package\" ";
            tablica=Repository.GetElementSet(sql,2);
            jedenElement("object",tablica); // throws error when tablica!=1
            Session.Output("table length"+ tablica.Count);
            Session.Output("pack name"+ tablica.GetAt(0).Name);
            return tablica.GetAt(0);
            }

Code: [Select]

function createDiagram(pakiet,diagramName){
            var diag as EA.Element;
            diag = pakiet.Diagrams.AddNew(diagramName, "Activity");
            diag.Update();
       }

Code: [Select]

createDiagram(getPackageByName("pakiet"),"examp");
I am sure there is one pakiet package.

Ah, I see the problem.
Your operation getPackageByName() returns an EA.Element, not an EA.Package
So when adding a diagram to an element the packageID is set to the parent package of the EA.Element, which in this case is the parent package of pakiet

If you add a GetPackageByGUID() and pass the GUID of the EA.Element for the package then this operation will return the correct EA.Package object.

Yess ! That's work.

Code: [Select]

function getPackageByName(nazwa){
            var sql;
            var tablica as EA.Collection;
            sql="select * from t_object where Name=\""+nazwa+"\"and Object_Type=\"Package\" ";
            tablica=Repository.GetElementSet(sql,2);
            jedenElement("object",tablica);
            return GetPackageByGUID(tablica.GetAt(0).ElementGUID);
            }Thank you very much.
